No. 1 offensive tackle among visitors to Auburn

AUBURN -- Auburn has commitments from who some say is the No. 1 guard and the No. 1 center in the country, and now the Tigers are trying to attract who some believe is the No. 1 tackle.

Auburn could add top prospect Cyrus Kouandjio if his visit goes well this final weekend of the recruiting season. He is one of several high-profile uncommitted players scheduled to visit as the Tigers try to wrap up a second straight Top 10 class on National Signing Day on Wednesday.

The national champs, with 22 commitments, were ranked third nationally by Scout, sixth by Rivals and eighth by ESPN late Friday afternoon. Five-star defender Ray Drew, who Auburn was actively recruiting until the middle of the week, committed to Georgia on Friday.

Kouandjio, who is 6-7, 322 from Hyattsville, Md., has Auburn, Alabama, Iowa and New Mexico on his final list. Kouandjio's brother, Arie, plays at Alabama.

Cyrus Kouandjio is ranked the top tackle in the nation by Scout, Rivals and ESPN, and could be another part of the Tigers' massive rebuilding project on their offensive line, which lost four senior starters.

Auburn already has commitments from Christian Westerman, considered the No. 1 guard by Scout; Reese Dismukes, considered the No. 1 center by Scout; Greg Robinson, considered the No. 7 guard by Scout; and Thomas O'Reilly, considered the No. 30 guard. The Tigers are also entertaining another offensive lineman in Antonio Richardson this weekend.

A player committed to Alabama -- defensive end LaMichael Fanning -- is also scheduled to visit Auburn. The former Auburn High School player, who played in Georgia in 2010, is making a final recruiting stop with the Tigers.

Auburn will also entertain Gabe Wright, the No. 11 defensive tackle by Scout, and tight end David Reeves from Greensboro High School.

Linebacker/running back Brent Calloway, who originally committed to Alabama but switched to Auburn, was wooed by the Crimson Tide to visit this weekend, but he is scheduled to be in Auburn on an unofficial visit, according to AuburnSports.com.

Marcus Roberson, considered the No. 2 cornerback in the nation by Rivals, may also be reappearing on Auburn's recruiting board after he de-committed from Texas Tech Friday afternoon.

He may not be in Auburn this weekend, but Rivals said he's considering the Tigers and Southern California. Auburn assistant Tommy Thigpen visited Roberson this week, according to AuburnSports.com.

Here's a look at some of the visitors:

**Kouandjio is a 6-foot-7, 322-pounder from Hyattsville, Md., has Auburn, Alabama, Iowa and, for something entirely different, New Mexico, on his final list of schools.

**The 6-6, 310 Richardson is from Nashville's Pearl-Cohn High School and is considered one of the top players in Tennessee. He visited Georgia last weekend.

**The 6-4, 300-pound Wright, from Carver High in Columbus, Ga., says Auburn is the leader. Tennessee is also in the picture.

**Reeves is 6-6, 250 and is listed as a tight end, but may be big enough to play elsewhere. He has an offer from Mississippi State and several smaller Division I programs.
